Eros is a rose is a rose. This writing is as sexy as a flower's genitalia. Funny, too. Highly recommended for poetry collections as well as for women's studies.

If you like this book, you won't want another orgasm book. This is not a sex therapy book or anything remotely like it. It is rather a book of humorous short fiction or prose poems. If you like this book, you might like books such as "Griffin and Sabine" by Nick Bantock, "Invisible Cities" by Calvino or "The Vagina Monologues" by Eve Ensler or "View with a Grain of Sand" by Wislawa Szymborska. "The Books of Orgasms" is a book of fantasy, not particularly erotic, but rather more whimsical, with such entries as an interview with an orgasm and an introduction which defines the orgasms as various kinds of poems. "For example," Andrews writes, "there are the lyric orgasms, which express deep feelings for an imagined person. You never know when your passionate, moaning lover is actually having a lyric orgasm. There is the ballad orgasm, which is kept alive orally, the dramatic orgasm, which speaks for itself, and the epic orgasm, a long-winded orgasm in which one lover plays the hero or conqueror and then relishes his victory. Men are often content with the small and discrete haiku orgasms which are said to arouse spiritual insight in a mere matter of syllables." Witty, entertaining, I recommend this book for anyone who is interested in meeting orgasms they would never have imagined.

Perverts will be disappointed. In spite of it's title, this is a book about everything EXCEPT the noisy part of orgasm.It's incredibly funny and wild, but there are also poems that are sweet and sad. It's prose-style and there is no mention of DEATH or the SOUL so even die-hard poetry-haters will love this book.
